Specials/Guest Appearances:
Siryn: "I dinnae
understand what we're doin', Shatterstar! This is crazy!"
Shatterstar:
"No...wasting our efforts back there with Cable is crazy. We
came here to settle a score with Mojo."
~X-Force/Youngblood (Vol 1) #1
Shaft: "I
hope Dazzler knows where she's going-- this place is
crawling with Mojo's best boys."
Shatterstar:
"Need I remind you, she got on board your ship without being
detected. If anyone can find Longshot and get us out of here
in one piece, it's Dazzler."
Dazzler:
"This is it...this is Mojo's dungeon."
~X-Force/Youngblood (Vol 1) #1
Cable:
-Gasp!- "I don't believe it! Longshot!"
Longshot: "Yeah. Back
from the dead."

"We all are...so where's Mojo?"
~X-Force/Youngblood (Vol
1) #1
Rictor:
"Man, that traffic on the expressway was murder. I hope I
don't miss my flight, 'Star."
Shatterstar:
"To be honest about it, Rictor, I kind of hope you do."
~Cable #22
Security Guard:
"Just where in the heck do you think you're going
with these?"
Shatterstar: "I
don't understand. If I keep them in the case, what could be
the problem?"
Rictor:
"Uhm, actually they're valuable antiques and my friend
didn't want to leave them in the car."
Security
Guard: "That so? Then
your...friend isn't boarding a plane with them?"
Rictor: "Nope,
he's just here to see me off."
Security
Guard: "Fine. Then he
leaves 'em here, till he gets back."
Shatterstar: "That is
impossible, guard! Where I come from, taking away a man's
sword is--"
Rictor:
"'Star, explaining to the man how you come from another
planet -- one hundred years in the future -- isn't
going to help the situation."
~Cable #22
Shatterstar: "Julio. One
last time. Please, change your mind. What am I going to do
without you?"
~Cable #22
Bartender:
"Guess you ain't as dumb as you look. But what do you
expect? You can't follow directions, we'll find somebody
else that can. Always someone better."
Shatterstar: "No -- not
always." -throws him through a table.

"Unghh! Shatter--" -falls over

Pierce. Make yourself useful -- hand me my sword."
~Shatterstar #2
Spiral:
"Shatterstar...I bid you welcome to the end of the world.
You have delivered to me the means to wipe the Earth clean,
to start anew, and for that I must thank you. It is not
everyday that a woman like me becomes a God."
Shatterstar:
"You will not have the blade, Spiral. It matters not what
manner of trickery you employ, the weapon is under my
protection now. This Skornn of mankind will not see the
outside of its cage."
~Shatterstar #2
Spiral: "It really
doesn't have to be this way, Shatterstar. You could join us.
With your skills you are virtually unstoppable."
Shatterstar: "I
am honored, Spiral, that you have noticed."
Pierce: "Shatterstar!
Listen to me!" -falling off the edge of the dimension.
"I understand now. Only you can truly protect the blade!"
Shatterstar:
"There is no need for theatrics, Pierce. It will only take
me a moment to pull you up."
Pierce:
"You heard what the female guardian said. I was destined to
fall in this fight, but for you the story has not met its
end. For you-- there is much more to come."
Spiral: "Yes! More pain,
more death!" -punches him in the head.
~Shatterstar #2
Pierce: "I
swear that you and your friends will suffer the quickest of
deaths. For survival only ensures a lengthy stay in Spiral's
torture engines."
Shatterstar:
"Stop rationalizing your betrayal, Pierce. You are merely a
coward doing another coward's work. For the love of the
God's kill me quickly -- so I will no longer be subjected to
your whining." -Pierce tries to stab him in the face.
"Missed. A Fatal error, I assure you."
~Shatterstar #4

unless we do somethin' now--"

"Why? The psycho hunt I can figure out, but why mutants?"
Vid Kid #1:
"Why not, claws? Makes for better sound bites, right?"
Wolverine:
"So it could have been blacks? Or Jews? Gays?"
Vid Kid #1:
"Coulda been girl scouts, but muties suffice. Girl Scouts
ain't a bad idea though..."

"Not for justice then? Or honor? Or even freedom?"
Vid Kid #2:
"Better than that, cutie -- for kicks!" -kicks him in the
face.
~Wolverine #54
Shatterstar:
"Come now, woman! Where has your posing for the cameras
gone? You are a cruel reminder of everything I have been my
entire life! Killing as a sport! Misery as entertainment!
Freedom as a lure for hope never fulfilled! Why should you
not die for your sins?"
Wolverine:
"Shatterstar, no!"
Shatterstar:
"But Lord Wolverine! Everything they do- everything they
say- it's reflected in their eyes- their cameras...and I see
myself in that reflection. And I do not like what I see."
~Wolverine #54
Shatterstar:
"On my world, arena sport for entertainment is our way of
life. The situation intrigued me. I sought to play in their
game."
Wolverine:
"This ain't a game, kid. I'm here to put a stop to it."
Shatterstar:
"Whyever for?"
--on hunting down the vid kids, who videotape themselves
murdering mutants.

~Wolverine: Rahne of Terra
Rictor:
"The handle! You sliced it! Warriors! Help!"
~Wolverine: Rahne of Terra
Speedball:
"Just when you thought you'd seen it all, two superhero
teams actually decide they'll work together without
fighting first!"
Shatterstar:
"We chose the other method last time we all met."
Speedball:
"Yeah, and now look at us! We've matured! And here I
thought we had a certain image to uphold!"

"Sneak in. Hmmphh." -he sends out a shockwave and blows
the building up. "There! nnff. Now let's sneak
in!"

~Gambit and the X-ternals #2
Rictor:
“You won’t get away from me again, LeBeau--DO YOU HEAR
ME---?!! You are a criminal! I don’ care that your woman
SAVED me when that weird crystal exploded! On this
planet--in my jurisdiction--you are a wanted felon! An’ the
last laugh’s on me, Gambit---’Cause even though you think
Jubilee an’ Guido got away--what you don’t know is no matter
where they go---I’LL STILL BE ABLE TO TRACK THEM DOWN!! You
hear me? You lose either way, LeBeau! I WILL arrest you!! I
will cuff you an’ throw you DOWN at the feet of APOCALYPSE
himself--and he’ll smile upon me--An’ then he’ll give me
EVERYTHING that I DESERVE!’
~Gambit and the X-ternals #4
Rictor:
“Not ALL of you, math major! Cheney, the brat chick and
Guido get to walk away from all of this…only YOU get sold
out, Gambit! But guess what? I like a wimpy traitor as much
as I like cheap thieves---An’ accidents DO happen--so no

Havok:
"You are a member of a team, and while you may not be
happy with the 'boredom' of your current assignment, the
team is working, the job is getting done. The battle is
being waged--"
Shatterstar:
"And what do we do? We stand idly by as three of our
fellows are kidnapped and spirited by Douglock, who would
have had us believe that he was a renegade Phalanx, breaking
away from them upon finding himself possessed of an
independent mind. His true purpose becoming quite obvious
with his attack on Forge, Cannonball, and Wolfsbane.
And what is our reaction to that? We split our number in
half, sending a team after them, while leaving our
fiercest and most powerful fighters here?!"
Havok:
"This mission required a certain amount of stealth. It
doesn't need some cowboy riding in on his white horse and
blowing 'charge' on his bugle. If you think about it for a
moment, you'll understand why your name wasn't on the
list."
~Excalibur Vol 1 #82
Rictor:
"Paydirt, boss! We've hit the motherlode!"
